Update: Terminations, Stop Work Orders, and De-Scopes – What Contractors and Grant Recipients Need to Know
Webinar | 03.13.25, 12:00 PM EDT - 1:00 PM EDT

Virtual
In the first quarter of 2025, the U.S. Government has issued a myriad of policy statements and Executive Orders with far-reaching impacts for government contractors and grant recipients. Many federal government agencies have directed contractors and grant recipients to stop work, de-scope contracts, and issued termination notices. In addition to these official directions, many agencies are engaging in less formal communications with contractors and grant recipients regarding these executive directives and orders, creating confusion and uncertainty as to performance and compliance under the contracts and grants. The impacts of these policy directives and their implementation are significant – for private companies, non-profits, and universities.
In this webinar, Crowell attorneys focusing on U.S. government contracts and grants will provide updates on the current state of play regarding:
• Stop Work Orders
• De-Scoping Contracts and Grants
• Partial and Full Terminations for Convenience
• Other government communications and directives
Our discussion will focus on the steps that contractors and grant recipients can take now, to preserve your rights and protect the bottom line. This includes responding to and negotiating with government counterparties, providing notice where required, and how to think about cost recovery strategies for affected contractors and grant recipients.
This complimentary webinar is for government contractors only, no outside law firms, government personnel, or press.

In 2025, the U.S. Government’s policy statements and Executive Orders have had far-reaching impacts for government contractors and grant recipients. Although terminations, stop work orders, and de-scopes have affected private companies, non-profits, and universities doing business across multiple agencies, the U.S. Government’s policies relating to the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) has caused particular confusion and uncertainty relating to performance, compliance, and contractual procedure. Key questions have included the potential impacts of official and less formal communications from the U.S. Government, procedural issues arising from the move of certain functions to the U.S. Department of State, and the effect of various pending litigations. As businesses and organizations plan for 2026, the importance of preserving their rights and maximizing potential recovery opportunities remains paramount.
